Good4Youth is a five-week program that prepares learners with the necessary skills to enter the workforce.

This program is held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 to 5 p.m. and gives learners the chance to gain skills in career exploration, resume building, acing an interview, employer expectations, interpersonal skills, and social media etiquette.

Upon completion of the course, learners will receive a Work Readiness for Youth certification and the opportunity to participate in a three-month paid internship at Goodwill.

This paid internship will allow participants to gain work readiness skills on the job and add great experience to a resume.

He gained confidence and strengthened his social interaction skills. He has recognized that he can be successful … it has been a priceless experience for our family.”
